Chapter 8: The Transcendental Vision The Universal Plan of Experience and
the Ultimate Event of Liberation The world is a Machine of experience – of beginnings,
changes, endings, and beginnings again. Every being arises as a consciousness of experience and
becomes automatically involved in the Pattern. Every being is ultimately deathless and constantly
reawakens to the levels of experience to which it feels
attached or attracted. Every being, therefore, has the potential for a countless
number of lifetimes – or epochs of experience. Lifetimes arise spontaneously and for countless aeons (as
long as the sphere of experience to which the being is
attached continues to arise). Therefore, experience of all
possibilities is a mechanical inevitability, until there is
Awakening to the Condition beyond or prior to conditional
experience. Experience arises for its own sake, and there are
countless realms of variously combined possibilities.
However, experience is a limiting force, a self-defining
power, a Machine of destinies. Therefore, there is no
ultimate Happiness, Joy, or Bliss possible in the realms of
conditional experience. The inherent frustration of Happiness, Joy, or Bliss in
the realms of conditional experience is the only force
within the realms of experience that is greater than the
motive of experience itself. It is the recognition of this
inherent frustration that begins to Awaken the being to the
Transcendental Reality that is the Source-Basis or Condition
of all conditional experience. Therefore, recognition of the
inherent and profound frustration of Happiness, Joy, and
Bliss that we all are suffering is the basis of Wisdom and
the ultimate Realization of Happiness, Joy, and Bliss. Every being inevitably continues to experience lifetimes
of conditional and self-binding experience until there is
the recognition of the inherent frustration of Happiness,
Joy, and Bliss in the process of conditional experience.
When this recognition becomes profound, there is the
Awakening to the Transcendental or Divine Condition in which
all conditional experience is arising – and this Awakening
Realizes Wisdom, Happiness, Joy, and Bliss. When any being Awakens to the Wisdom, Happiness, Joy, and
Bliss of inherence in the Transcendental Divine (the
Condition of conditions), the mechanical association with
the Machine of experience is released. Therefore, beings are
constantly reborn to the conditions of their experiential
attachment, and they go on and on in the experience of
mechanical destinies, only more or less aware of the
profundity of their inherent frustration, until they
recognize that frustration, Awaken from their mechanical
associations, and Realize the Wisdom, Happiness, Joy, and
Bliss of inherence in the Transcendental Divine Being. In
that Event, they are as if sifted out of the conditional
worlds, and they are moved by Ecstasy into the Radiant
Eternal Domain of the Transcendental Divine Being, prior to
all association with experiential limitations. Those who are not thus Awakened are seen to play out
their frustrated adventures in the chaos of destinies always
present in any dimension of the world. But those who
recognize the inherent frustration involved in any such
adventure see the profundity, inevitability, and
universality of suffering in the conditional world. They
continue to fulfill the pattern of activity and experience
which is appropriate to their circumstances of existence,
but their orientation is no longer to experience itself or
to the self-being itself. Rather, they live and act in a
spirit of self-transcending surrender, Ecstasy, or
Love-Communion with the Radiant Transcendental Divine Being.
Therefore, their days pass in the midst of the conventions
of activity and awareness in the world, but they are more
and more profoundly Transfigured by the Wisdom, Happiness,
Joy, and Bliss of God-Communion. Finally, they cease to be
born to attention in the realms of conditional experience.
They are Outshined, and the world is Outshined, by the
Radiant Being of God.
